The high-performance formula contains 15 amino acids naturally found in the protective layers of the skin. Amino acids are known to balance and support the skin barrier. It removes make-up and dirt on the skin surface without disrupting the moisture barrier or acid mantle (the skin's natural protective barrier). This gentle facial cleanser is even effective on long-lasting, water-resistant facial make-up. It leaves the skin feeling soft, comfortable and balanced and prepares the skin for the next steps of skin care.
